It's not a great movie, but one of my favourite little moments of acting on film is the moment in Die Another Day where Michael Madsen, after narrowly avoiding being atomised by a doomsday weapon, casually pulls out a cigarette and lights it up in relief.
He understood the power of little moments.

Michael Madsen, whose menacing characters in “Reservoir Dogs” and “Kill Bill” made him a standout in Quentin Tarantino’s films, has died. He was 67.

I've just put my son to sleep by gently singing Beatles songs to him as he drifted off and words can't properly describe the feeling in my chest. ❤️

My newborn son is very taken with a piece of art I took from my mum's house when she died 9 years ago. It was one of her favourites.
If anyone needs me, I'll be in the corner crying my eyes out ❤️

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

Patriotism isn't being proud of your country no matter what. If the government are clearly shitting the bed it's patriotic to want them to do better. You don't have to love Britain unconditionally, it's a country not a son.

May you be lucky enough to have a leader who loves his country half as much as this man loves his.
Breaking News: President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said that he would step down if his country could join NATO. His remark came days after President Trump questioned his legitimacy and called him a “dictator,” echoing a Kremlin talking point. nyti.ms/3Qur4ab

Saturday morning, we were heading to a nursery open day.
Instead, my partners waters broke and our son arrived in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A very early reminder that life doesn't care about your plans!

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
